in B
"with ..."
is absolute phase which provide context for the main clause.
if B stands alone, B is logic and grammaticla. B means in the context that the interaction affects the climate, the main clause happen.
but B chang the original meaning and wrong.
og explanation of why B is wrong is not clear.
pls confirm, thank you.
